🍕 Pizza permeates Graceland

Franklin County • March 14, 2025

​

Good morning, Franklin County. The aroma of award-winning pizza is wafting through Clintonville as Brenz Pizza Co. unveils its fourth Columbus location at Graceland Shopping Center. Known for their meticulously fermented Neapolitan-style dough and locally sourced toppings, this expansion adds another culinary jewel to our growing food scene. Whether you're craving their signature Heartland pie or the popular Bomber, you now have another spot to satisfy those pizza cravings seven days a week.

Looking ahead to March, Dublin is already preparing to paint the town green with its 2025 St. Patrick's Day celebrations. The festivities kick off March 15th with a parade, pancake breakfast, and 16-venue pub crawl, while Columbus follows with its own parade on the 17th. For those planning events of any kind, local venue experts remind us that the perfect space balances unique character with practical considerations like location and parking – wisdom that applies whether you're hosting a corporate gala or hunting leprechauns at Metro Parks.
